Chapter 23: Pine Forest Hill
After curing Liu Daqiang's poison, Zhushan Taoist walked up to my mother and said, "If I want to solve the problem in Shima Village, I need to take Xiao Fei as my apprentice."
The words of Master Zhushan were so sincere that no one dared to question them. Originally, my mother just wanted me to study hard and make progress every day. She didn’t want me to learn from a magic stick. However, Master Zhushan said these words.
, but it connected me with the lives of the whole village. If my mother did not allow me to become my teacher, it seemed that the whole village would suffer.
My mother is a kind-hearted person, so as long as she is sure that I am harmless, she will not refuse Zhushan Lao Dao.
"Will Xiao Fei stay at your place forever? What will happen to his studies?" My mother asked eagerly. These two questions were the issues she was most concerned about.
If Zhushan Lao Tao said that I would have to live with him for a long time after becoming a disciple again, my mother would definitely not agree. Also, if I learn the things of Zhushan Lao Tao, I would not be able to continue schooling, and neither would my mother.
Wouldn't agree.
"Don't worry, Xiaofei doesn't have to live with me, and he can go to school as usual. However, I need his help when I deal with the ghosts of Miemenpo and Zhang Xiaolan." said Zhushan Lao Tao.
When Master Zhushan said this, my mother could no longer refuse him, and I, a little kid, had no say in this matter.
After the apprenticeship, Zhushan Taoist said that everything was caused by Zhang Xiaolan's death, so he had to find Zhang Xiaolan's missing body first.
To find clues about the missing body, Zhang Xiaolan’s dug grave must be visited. Since Zhang Xiaolan’s body disappeared, the villagers felt that it was evil, and no one dared to touch Zhang Xiaolan’s grave. Therefore, Zhang Xiaolan’s grave
It has remained the same as it was just after it was stolen.
After watching the scene, Zhushan Taoist told everyone: "Zhang Xiaolan's tomb was stolen. The person who robbed the tomb should be Li Tianzhen's enemy. He thought that by stealing the tomb, he could harm Li Tianzhen, but he didn't expect that he would be killed because of sex."
My heart has harmed me, and it has also harmed Shima Village."
After Taoist Zhushan finished speaking, the villagers seemed to understand somewhat and seemed to become more confused.
Although there were some doubts on the faces of the villagers, Master Zhushan didn't seem to be interested in explaining this. After checking it out, he took me straight to Zhang San's house.
At this time, Zhang San's body was placed in the main room of his house, and two villagers were guarding it.
Arriving at Zhang San's house, Master Zhushan first looked at Zhang San's body. After looking at Zhang San's body, Master Zhushan said: "We are friends with humans and ghosts, one is yin and one is yang, one is cold and one is hot, so he died suddenly."
Wang Wu reacted quickly and understood what Zhushan Master said immediately.
"Did the Taoist Master say that Zhang San had sex with Li Tianzhen and Zhang Xiaolan at the same time last night?" Wang Wu asked.
The old Taoist Zhushan did not answer this question in words, but he nodded meaningfully.
As soon as Master Zhushan nodded, the villagers immediately started to explode again.
"This is a threesome, how dare you! You actually fucked your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law together, and one of them is a corpse and the other is a living person."
"Li Tianzhen is not simple, is she? She can actually serve a man with her daughter-in-law's corpse!"
The villagers were talking a lot, and at this time, Zhushan Taoist had already walked to Zhang San's bedroom.
Master Zhushan looked at Zhang San's bed, and then smelled it with his nose. "There is still some corpse air, but Zhang Xiaolan's body has escaped." Master Zhushan said.
Escaped? The corpse could actually escape? What Zhushan Lao Dao said shocked everyone present.
The old Taoist Zhushan noticed everyone's doubts and explained: "It is true that the corpse cannot run away, but Zhang Xiaolan's soul can control living people and make living people carry her body and run away."
After finishing speaking, Zhushan Taoist picked up the pair of straw sandals under the bed. Judging from the size of the straw sandals, its owner should be Zhang San.
"Everyone should know this, right?" Master Zhushan asked, pointing to the bunch of pine leaves stuck to his straw sandals.
"Pine leaves are everywhere on the nearby mountains. What does this mean?" Wang Wu answered.
"You can see clearly, there are three needles in a bunch, these are the pine leaves of whitebark pine. Everyone should know very well that among these ten miles and eight towns, this whitebark pine can only be found in Songlin Mountain." said the old Taoist Zhushan.
As soon as Zhushan Master finished speaking, everyone present took a breath of cold air. The place in Songlin Mountain was the territory of the exterminator. There were so many lonely souls and wild ghosts there that no one dared to go. This three, even if it is
No matter how courageous he is, he would not dare to go there under normal circumstances. Moreover, the mud on his Straw Shoes Mountain has not completely dried yet, so it can be seen that it must have been left over from last night.
In other words, Zhang San went to Songlin Mountain last night and died suddenly after returning from Songlin Mountain.
Once the clues about Songlin Mountain were revealed, the whole thing seemed a little clearer, but in fact, it became more complicated.
Although the white-barked pine is only found in Songlin Mountain, there are many white-barked pine trees in Songlin Mountain. As for the pine needles on Zhang San's straw shoes, everyone only knows that they come from Songlin Mountain, but they cannot tell which pine tree they come from.
What's even worse is that the Pine Forest Mountain is not only high, but also full of cliffs and ghosts wandering around. Therefore, even if they know that Zhang Xiaolan's body is there, no one dares to go there even in the daytime.
Everyone also knows that the old Taoist Zhushan said this just to make everyone mentally prepared for a trip to Songlin Mountain.
Seeing that no one expressed their opinions, the old man from Zhushan picked up the bunch of pine leaves and smelled it. "It smells bad. It must have been used by Landlord She to pick out his teeth. These pine leaves must come from the northern slope of Songlin Mountain."
Many villagers have heard the story about Landlord She.
Before liberation, Landlord She was the largest landowner in the ten miles and eight villages. He was truly wealthy. However, Landlord She had a problem. He didn't like to use toothpicks to pick his teeth. He only liked to use pine needles.
, and they are the pine needles of whitebark pine.
The reason why Landlord She had this habit was because he asked an expert to do the math for him, and the expert told him that he could only use whitebark pine needles when picking his teeth, otherwise his wealth would not be passed down to the next generation.
One day, Landlord She took a tenant's daughter, Xiaofen, as his concubine. Xiaofen knew she couldn't fight Landlord She, so she pretended to obey him, and Landlord She gradually became relieved of her.
That Xiaofen knew Landlord She’s habit of picking his teeth with pine needles, and also knew why he only used whitebark pine needles to pick his teeth. In order to take revenge on Landlord She, Xiaofen once saw Landlord She being drunk, so she secretly used pine needles from green pine trees to pick his teeth.
The whitebark pine needles were replaced. After Landlord She picked his teeth with the green pine needles, the She family slowly began to lose.
After liberation, Landlord She could no longer enjoy the extravagant and lustful life, so she took a hemp rope and hanged himself. After his death, Landlord She was buried on the northern slope of Songlin Mountain.
The old Zhushan Taoist mentioned the issue of landlord She, hoping that the villagers would believe him and not be afraid. However, the villagers still did not express their stance.
"I have to go to the north slope of Songlin Mountain tonight, and I need someone to help me. Who do you think should go?" Seeing that no one dared to come forward voluntarily after being guided for a long time, the old Taoist Zhushan spoke directly.
When they heard that Zhushan Lao Dao only needed one person, the villagers were both happy and a little scared. What they were happy about was that if they could only choose one person, the chance of being chosen would be greatly reduced; what they were afraid of was that if they chose themselves, they would be afraid.
If he died, he wouldn't even be buried with him.
Master Zhushan has been asking questions for several minutes, but still no one dares to come forward.
At this time, I didn't know which nerve was acting up.
"I'm going!" I shouted loudly.
As soon as I finished yelling, my mother immediately covered my mouth.
"It seems that there are still men in Shima Village, but they are just young men." The Zhushan old man patted my shoulder approvingly, and then said to my mother: "Sister-in-law Lu, please rest assured, Xiaofei has a strong numerology, and Yang
His aura is so heavy that even a fierce ghost cannot get close to him. When I go to the north slope of Songlin Mountain, I will ask him to help me get a lamp and illuminate it for me, so as not to tire him."
